Spotify tweaks algorithm against AI-generated junk music: over 75 million tracks removed this year
Spotify modified its algorithm to remove AI-generated junk music and spam from recommendations. The company spent the last six months updating its recommendation systems to give more visibility to authentic artists, after analyzing tracks users did not want to hear. The new algorithm uses signals such as listener interaction and comments, upload patterns, metadata and third-party AI detection tools. So far this year it removed more than 50 million tracks from recommendations and took down more than 75 million for violations.
